Me foraying into gardening thread again

[wendy]

A rare thing.

I have a beautiful plant, it is tallish and has flowers that are purple and white that hang like bunches of grapes. They in turn go onto purple ovel berries. I love it.
I have one in a pot and would like to transfer it into a great deal larger pot.
When do you think I can change it over.
I think it is called something like leysander or similar.

Dunno.
But I think we've got a similar plant. Ours is quite tall and it appeared in our garden by itself. Hope someone can tell us something about it, your name doesn't find anything on Yahoo search. It offers me leander rose and oleander. And they're not it.

Careful Wendy, wandering into unknown places - hope your sat nav gets you back out again
Sorry don't know either but it sounds a pretty shrub.

[wendy]

I will take a photo that maybe that wll help.

[wendy]

Well that sounded good,in theory

But on Sunday our friend put dropbox on our 'puter to save our photo'on.
Now I don't seem to be able to load on the 'puter only into the dropbox and cannot fathom how to get them from there onto photobucket
It is all very well someone who knows, what they are doing shoving these things on but forget there are klutz's out there Namely me.
He is back on Sunday so you may have to wait 'til then

hopefully you can post a photo later as it sounds lovely. With regards to your repotting, I see no reason why you can't pot it on now or anytime so long as you don't disturb the roots too much, it should be alright

[wendy]

Thanks LL.
Maybe we will do it tomorrow, if it isn't raining.

Leysesteria formosa?
Pheasant berry.

Very easily grown shrub and tough too so no problem repotting it now, or in the spring. You can cut back old branches to encourage new growth.

The seed will also germinate, just pop some in a pot and leave outside.

I think that's what we've got.
The seeds certainly did germinate, even though we didn't plant them.

[wendy]

Yeah, Yeah
That is what it is, just couldn't remember it. The ones I have, have all grown from seeds dropped by the plant. I Love it.
Thank you we, hopefully will do it today.

Wendy , isn't this the best forum ever, there is always someone who knows just what you mean and comes up with the right answer ?

[wendy]

Yes
